The caste-based service delivery modelIn international development, decisions are taken by the expats, and locals carry out the orders. The lords and ladies of povertyIt’s actually a failed model, as limited achievement in post-war international development shows. The reason they become such “slum lords” is because international development may not be much about development itself.
